Even if a few bars of this song are started, I have not been around a group of people who can’t finish this beloved tune. (There were some serious double negatives happening in that last sentence…) What I’m trying to say is that this jam is somewhere in the top 10 for sing-alongability for my friends and I. You can’t not love it 😉

The song was first brought to my attention by JP Walker and the Forum snowboard team in their video True Life. The credits to the video consisted of a silly bunch of pro snowboarders making a music video to this Biz Markie classic. You wouldn’t generally associate this song with snowboarding, but it definitely made this video and has since inspired many other lovers of the snow (like my friends over at A Good Reed [check them out]).

Boston.com shares amazing photojournalism through the portion of their site called The Big Picture. Recently, they shared these astounding pictures as a part of National Geographic’s International Photo Contest 2009. I cannot even begin to fathom how some of these pictures came together. One of the coolest things is to read the captions under the photos to learn a little bit about the strategy (or sheer happenstance) behind the lens.

We are constantly striving; striving for the next degree, the job promotion, or to be better than our neighbor/sibling/co-worker. Contentment is not easily found in a culture that consistently tells you that you need to be reaching that next level in order to find fulfillment. However, if there’s one thing I have learned in my 24 years on this earth, it’s that this race is unending and tiring.

Think about setting your goals toward happiness and contentment in your near future, and see what your surrounding decisions/career choices/relationships look like.

When my wife was in high school she won back-to-back-to-back championships with her gymnastics team. In the same way that this feat was both unthinkable and awesome, my 3-in-a-row SaS creates a similar sentiment. Enjoy.

I started listening to Ben Kweller the same way I listen to any new music. My little sister tells me too. What can I say? She knows what I like (or should like). In this week of Thanksgiving, I give thanks to her and her ability to consistently tell me what music I like. (thanks Makrai!)

Ben Kweller’s “Falling” is our song of the week for it’s catchy piano tune, and the way it makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs. If you have any music ability in your body, I would recommend that you learn this one on the piano. Simple, yet fun.

I was hoping to never post back to back “Sing-along Sundays”, yet here I am doing exactly that. Woops. Such is life.

Enjoy this melodic and catchy tune from a talented little lady named Ingrid Michaelson. Sorry to get sappy with you all, but my wife and I love this song and used to shout it at the top of our lungs as we were driving across Washington state visiting family. Point being, if a song’s sing-along-ability is my favorite characteristic I would say it’s ability to remind you of certain memories if number 2. For our purposes, we’ll call it nostalgic-ness.

Anyway, this song is called “You and I”. Grab a partner and belt it out. Or, do what I like to do sing the low and falsetto parts.

I believe that all aspects of our lives and experiences can serve as inspiration. Some things expose our passions and gifts, while others serve as an example of what not to become. Either way we can learn to be live increasingly inspired lives.
